Mission

Quantumforquants.org has been created to foster education, discussion, and collaboration to advance our identification and understanding of solutions to open industry problems.

Despite the power of today’s supercomputers there are many extremely complex computing problems in finance that remain intractable. Quantum computers have the potential to provide an entirely different approach to solving these problems, and recent research shows promise for applications such as portfolio optimization, database query optimization and machine learning.

Harnessing the collective intelligence of this community and combining the best minds in the industry with academia will radically advance our ability to address these problems.

Dr. Marcos López de Prado manages multibillion-dollar funds applying machine learning (ML) and supercomputing technologies. In addition to managing funds, between 2011 and 2018 Marcos was also a research fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science). In 2018, SSRN ranked him as the most-read Economics author over the past year. Among several books, Marcos is the author of Advances in Financial Machine Learning (Wiley, 2018).
